Crouch's Dual Threat Helps Him to Run For The Heisman
Eric Crouch was a dual threat at Nebraska and before his Husker
career was over he had amassed 7,915 total yards setting the big 12
record for career total offense. With Crouch so adept at running and
throwing, he became just the 13th player in NCAA Division 1-A history
to both run and pass for 1000 yards in the same season.
While Nebraska had already produced a long-line of running
quarterbacks, Eric Crouch positioned himself as a Heisman Trophy
candidate by having already surpassed the career efforts of previous
Nebraska quarterbacks.
Crouch’s 2001 Heisman season continued his onslaught on the
Husker record books as he added 1,150 yards passing and 1,115
rushing yards and 25 total touchdowns (7 passing/18 rushing).
While the Heisman Trophy voting was close, Crouch edged out
Florida’s Rex Grossman and Miami’s Ken Dorsey for the award.
Crouch was drafted by the NFL’s St. Louis Rams and quickly quit
football. He eventually returned to the NFL and CFL at other positions,
but with little impact
